MangalorePosted Nov 2013 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed for Software Engineer through an eLitmus-driven funnel that started with aptitude/CS screening and then shifted into technical rounds, with the initial filters feeling very hard.

Initial eLitmus shortlist + objective exam — I had to clear an eLitmus step (with strong percentile expectations mentioned), followed by a computer-science-focused objective quiz.
Written test (high-pressure aptitude + CS basics) — The written portion included quant/logical/English with quant described as CAT-level tough, and the test timing felt strict.
Technical interview focused on data structures — After shortlisting, I entered a data-structures technical interview; sometimes the coding questions were described as tough but repetitive.
